To my readers: I would like to sincerely apologize for my prolonged absence during this most important time of the campaign. The reasons are really 2-fold. I have mentioned I am a single dad, and between MLK Day and 2 snow days, I just really haven’t had time to write.
Secondly, I have mentioned before some physical ailments with which I am currently dealing. That, too, has kept me from being posted at my computer as often as I would like.
Allow me, though to make a couple of observations on what I am seeing. In South Carolina now, we have a white woman (with Hubba Bubba in tow) and a black man slugging it out to see who is the least criminal: a lawyer sitting on the board at Wal-Mart, or a lawyer trying to help a slum-lord in Philadelphia. I have to say, as a conservative, I would be happy to see them dig as deep as they can into one another’s past…less work for us in the General.
On our side, I think Rudy is gone. The polls show he won’t even be a contender in Florida now. It is a 2-man race between Mr. Right Opinion’s man, Mitt Romney, and the deservedly respected Sen. McCain. However, just this morning on Fox & Friends, McCain said that he had NEVER opposed tax cuts, then 10 seconds later he said, well, I did vote against the Bush tax cuts [which, as an aside, pulled this country out of the Clinton recession and 9/11 attacks shortly after taking office].
I have seen Gov. Romney’s well-thought-out plans for both the economy and the War on Terror, and there can be no doubt that at this point in time, he is the man for the job.
I know some polls say that McCain is the only one who can beat Hillary head-to-head, but I just, for some reason, am not putting all my eggs in the polls. I know it is a favorite Clinton tactic; go whichever way the polls tell you. However, I do not believe Mitt is that kind of leader.
I also have enough faith in the Republican establishment to say that Republicans will not nominate McCain solely because he is liberal enough to beat a Democrat. We have to show some grit and stand for the principles in which we believe. We can’t elect a social liberal who is also a fiscal moderately liberal, and a war hawk.
We need a well-rounded candidate. One who has the financial expertise to turn around an economic spiral, stand up for social conservatism, and at the same time, surround himself with those who know best how to deal with the war on terror.
I urge all who read this to go to http://www.mittromney.com/Mitt-TV/index and peruse the Governor’s plans for when he wins the White House. I think you will need look no further to see he IS the most qualified, most trust-worthy man (or woman) in this race.
Naturally, you have to decide for yourselves, but it is my Right Opinion that you at least know the facts before making up your mind.
Thanks, God Bless, and GO MITT!!!
